2015 In Review

Sit back, relax, and melt away the cold winter season with the new crossover single from the Zone Runners & RoBKTA!
Rob's invited the trio to his hideaway on Angel Island in order to let loose for a bit with a drink or two, but it looks like we've ended up turning this small chill-out session into a full-blown beach party!

-You might fancy lighting one up and soaking in the sun with the Docta; 
-Or perhaps you may step your game up by joining DiGi for some beach volleyball and "sight-seeing" with a few lovely bunnies; 
-If you'd rather rest easy by building sand castles just be sure to clean the sand out of your ears as Sir J and the badniks make some noise and turn up the heat with a horn ensemble conga line; 
-But your stay will not be complete until you stop by the bar to close your night with a complimentary slick beat Pina Colada, on the house, from Rob.

Enjoy your stay, mon', and we hope to see you come back and visit again!!

LYRICS

::Sir J:: 

RoBKTA, let's do it 
(Arubbabuppabuppabuppa Ping Pong Bong, WOO!!) 

I'm intercepting a transmission 
From the place where the rhythm reflects off the sun 
Dont mind the fire, just the bush getting burned 
When we say "we're getting higher" it's no euphemism 
So let's hit up the Rob connection 
We bring the hash and you can tag us as the freshest of the bunch 
ZR crashing his pad ain't no hunch 
Cooked a sick beat, so we made a fast break for lunch, aaayyy 

::DiGi Valentine:: 

Back to the Island, open up your iris 
Let the summer breeze get in to your soul. 
The calm, soothing silence is broken by the hypeness 
With the Robo losing control. 
Rob make the beat bang, Doc bring me the sweet drank, 
Everybody lift your cups high! 
We live it up tonight! Found the party, set it right 
Now we're gonna show you how to live life, alright! 

::Zone Runners:: 

(It's time to) dry your eyes 
(cause we) Running through paradise 
(Only) need to bring bags of ice 
(So we) can chill through day or night 

Sit back relax, praise Enerjak 
Whether we're up or we're down 
Up with the sky, or down near the tides 
Hakuna Matatataaaa 
(Da da daadaaa) 
(Zoobydooby Da Da Daaadaa) 
(Aaayyyaaayy) 
'Cause the fun's only just 

::Dr. halc:: 

Begun with the groove, da boyz be gettin rude 
Pounding badniks with my rum punch, one, two 
We getting wild on the Angel Isle 
With the Runners on the microphones and dat smooth RoB stylin 
Break out the shades and kick back your seats 
All the cute babes and the Flicky chicks see me 
Wait, they're lookin at the Sir J, again? Shit 
What's a hog got ta do for some attention? 
It don't matter, hit the bottle again 
Saddle up without without a paddle, we ain't here to battle 
Soak up the rays, paradise never fails 
Nice 89 daily on da farenheit scale uh 
Follow spin dash trails on the sand 
To the promised land, with a cup of rum in each hand 
We've made landfall, anchors down 
Cuz tonite, we gonna party at da ZR luau 

::Zone Runners:: 

(It's time to) dry your eyes 
(cause we) Running through paradise 
(Only) need to bring bags of ice 
(So we) can chill through day or night 

(breakdown) 
(Whether we're up or we're down) 

Sit back relax, and praise Enerjak 
Whether we're up or we're down 
Up with the sky, or down near the tides 
Hakuna Matatataaaa 
(Da da daadaaa) 
(Zoobydooby Da Da Daaadaa) 
'Cause the fun's only just begun 

::Sir J:: 

Running upon, away from the gun 
Dropping the bomb, try to keep up 
Keep it moving from 
(Left to Right) 
Yeah, our bullets come from the sweat of the brow 
Don't cloud your sight now 
Your bridge may fall apart 
But as long as you have heart 
To keep it moving on 
You'll see the fun's only just 
(Uh) Begun! 

::DiGi Valentine:: 

Been running zones for a long time 
Now I'ma soak up some fun in the sunshine. 
Kick one rhyme, let the whole island hear it. 
Valentine, 16-bits to a lyric, uh! 
Rope to rope swinging, got party people singing 
hook lines for the good times that I'm bringing. 
Turn the bass on the robo up 
Badniks in the bush throwing coconut. 
I've come a long way from rapping on the block 
Now I'm jamming on the rock (Jamrock, Angel!) 
With palm trees hanging over top 
and waterfall splashing from a drop. 
Rhinobots wanna catch me? Hah! Don't even try. 
Rude boy better know so roll on by. 
Got sun, sand, sky, that's why I'm boasting. 
Angel paradise, island floating! 

::Zone Runners:: 

Sit back relax, praise Enerjak 
Whether we're up or we're down 
Up with the sky, or down near the tides 
Hakuna Matatataaaa 
(Da da daadaaa) 
(Zoobydooby Da Da Daaadaa) 
'Cause the fun's only just... 
(OHHhhhhh) 

We're Feeling the roots, yeah, moving in the sand 
So turn up your speakers, you just have to jam 
And coco-the-nuts, go crazy with the band 
Be sure to come back and visit once agai-ai-ai-aaaaiiin

This EP is the next step after the release of numerous original singles and remixes throughout 2013 and 2014, hopefully in making my music always better and better and making everyone enjoy it more and more. And I have to say I wouldn’t be here right now, ready to get to USA for MAGFest if it wasn’t for all of you that gave constant help and support. This EP is my personal thank to all of you and I hope you will enjoy listen to it as I enjoyed working on it! 

Special Thanks to: 
All the “GetHimToTheMag” contributors for being so generously awesome, Wank Time for bringing their unexpected funk vibes in the EP, Chris Logsdon (Chjolo) for helping out with wonderful guitars, Amanda Rudolph (StarStorm) for her lyrics on “Everyone’s Invincible” (and not only for that <3), Cody Wilson (Belthesar) for helping me in singing in a better English, Thomas Turbato for the great photoshoot for my artwork, James Landino, Clarke Nordhauser (Grimecraft), Chris Davidson (Dj CUTMAN) and everyone that always shown a super extra support towards all the music I make. 
To all of you, ladies and gents, I dedicate this EP. 

EVERYONE'S INVINCIBLE 
Lyrics by Amanda Rudolph, Roberto Bazzoni and Cody Wilson
	
::Verse I:: 

I can't stop myself from wondering 
if my choices will make is alright 
All the mistakes I made in the past 
keep me restless every night 

But I just can't let it haunt me 
I won't let the pain decide my fate 
We must keep fighting, it's our time: 
we can't be late, we can't be too late 

::Chorus:: 

Every step we take in the wrong direction 
takes us closer to what we seek 
And every storm that stands upon us 
is a challenge that we'll always take 
I won't stand still among the crowd, 
I can make music in my mind 
My heart is healing, beating once again 

'Cause everyone's invincible (x2) 

::Verse II:: 

Break out from the prison of fear, 
shatter illusions of self-hate 
You made it this far 
you're stronger than you think 

Nothing can't stop us, no words no pain 
Your soul is a sword, unleash it don't hesitate 
War's never over but victory awaits 

::Chorus:: 

Every step we take in the wrong direction 
takes us closer to what we seek 
And every storm that stands upon us 
is a challenge that we'll always take 
I won't stand still among the crowd, 
I can make music in my mind 
My heart is healing, beating once again 

'Cause everyone's invincible (x2) 

::Breakdown:: 

If you truly believe it feel it 
You're the light, our light 
I will be your shield 
Can't you see? Can't you see? 
Everyone's invincible 

::Chorus:: 

Every step we take in the wrong direction 
takes us closer to what we seek 
And every storm that stands upon us 
is a challenge that we'll always take 
I won't stand still among the crowd, 
I can make music in my mind 
My heart is healing, beating once again

Everyone's Invincible

Calamari On The Funk (Splatoon Remix) [Weekend Project #2 - SPLATUNES!]

Got back to play a lot of Jet Set Radio lately and remember how much I loved the soundtrack! So, as I realized that splattink ink in Splatoon and spraying graffiti in JSR is basically the same thing, I decided to mash up my remix of "Splattack!" with "Concept Of Love" by @hideki-naganuma and this is what came out! I really hope you'll like it! :D 

Thanks a lot to Jordana and Shanna for helping with the artwork!

Time to kick off the summer with a Nu Disco space flight! 

As some of you may have noticed, my musical style is evolving a little bit, engulfing more and more influences. I think that this new single encapsulates in a few minutes all the inspirations that I got in my music making career until this very moment: video games, disco and even anime. The result is a song that simply ignores the boundaries of my classic style to go into outer space to explore new possibilities! 
A little gift to everyone that supported and still supports my music :D Hope you'll like it! :D 

By suggestion of my Attorneys, I swear the anime Macross Frontier hasn't been an inspiration for the title... :P 

Special Thanks to: Amanda Rudolph (StarStorm aka The Rocket <3), Cody Wilson (Belthesar), Chris Chapman (Misfit Chris), Benjamin Briggs, Robert Anderson (DJ RoboRob) and everyone that keeps me going with my music making dream, fueling my passion and inspiration everyday more and more. My most sincere "Grazie" to everyone of you!

My Girlfriend Is A Rocket [OUT NOW ON BANDCAMP AND LOUDR]

Again, another project that I started some time ago and then abandoned because "it wasn't turning out good".

Then some time passed, and the anniversary with my girlfriend @starstorm arrived. And since we really both like Macross Frontier, I decided to get back on it and remix her favorite song from the anime and at the same time give her something really special. 

I recognize this remix encarnates our spirits combined in the best way possible, and because is a present just for her, it won't be available for download for anyone else. 
I'm sorry about that, but a gift for a special someone should be only limited to that someone. 
Still you can enjoy it by pressing play, hoping you'll enjoy it.

02 Where the Wild Things Are (New Super Mario Bros. Wii) [RobKTA feat. XPRTNovice]

I know guys, it took very long for this joint to come out at last, but a lot of things have happened and kept me away from finishing this, including prolonged sickness ugh... but now I can officially say I've been able to jump up the Undertale Remix Train as well, and "Death By Glamour" goes right up my alley. 

How do you improve an already funky boss battle? 
Simple: Giving it the Justice Nu Disco treatment!
YEAAAH! :3

You Gotta Boogie, Child (Undertale "Death By Glamour" Remix)[FREE DOWNLOAD]

Today has been a long day and I noticed that "Lil' Fuck" by Demon fits together quite well with the song "In The Groove" by @S0LV0

So I decided to make a little cocktail.
Take one song. 
Now take the other. 
Mash them up and shake it. 

Listen and enjoy. Also support the original release here:

Lil' Groove (S0LV0 X Demon Mashup)

New album from the very talented RoBKTA! <3 We hope you guys enjoy! 

"Every time I work on a new album I consider it as a new chance to try out new things and experiment. 
This is one of those. 
The chance of releasing “Super Dimensional Float” with a collective, meant to me that I could try out what I learned from French House and Nu Disco, combining it at the same time with other influences such as anime and video games, in order to create something personal but that at the same time I can share with everyone of you as a new point in my career when I learn from all the music I listened and produced until now to shape something always new for everyone to enjoy. 

Special thanks to the chaps at Future Society for releasing this and supporting me and all the other producers and musicians, my friends and followers that fuels my music up every single day in every possible way and my girlfriend Amanda for being the best fan that every artists would love to have and making me feel so lucky."
